Crawl looks like the appropriate verb. Even more respect for the pilots who flew them in to battle. Great insight, Bill, thanks! Clive

LoL, Rob and I saw this plane at Duxford Warbirds 09, never got close enough to see this little guy though.Always good to see the insides, not an opportunity often available over here.This is an excellent, sharp image, very useful for detailing future model projects.

I'll look carefully at the pilot next time I take a flight just in case. Excellent capture.

Super POV in this shot of the cockpit, instrument panel and controls, Bill. Grumpy was placed there in order to keep the greasy, invasive hands of callous visitors off the controls of this well preserved and intrepid WWII aircraft.

LOL! That's priceless, Bill! He actually looks a little like our third shift guy. Of course if I ever have to work that shift, I'd be grumpy, too! Great capture, Bill! Aircraft cockpits sure look different these days!

Beautiful photo, Bill. I'm surprised the museums let folks inside the planes, particularily the cock-pit with all those controls. "Grumpy" suggests something about this plane. Temperamental engines? Or,..... It looks quite crowded inside, and no crew comfort. Reminds me, did thay have a toilet on board, considering long flying hours to and from the target? I know they brought sandwiches and thermoses with hot tea/coffee (it's COLD up there!). This photo really gives a good view of the controls. Now, to try figuring out what all the dials are for! Keep 'em coming! :-)

I smile my friend. And I think. Many believe that some elderly people have no dreams in their hearts. It's like a home port to have a little fetish of the moment to restore our courage. Well thanks to you and very much appreciated visits esters ((5 + +)) Je souris mon ami . Et je pense . Beaucoup pensent que les personnes un peu agés n'ont aucun rêve dans leur coeur . C'est comme un port d'attache d'avoir un petit fétiche du moment pour nous redonner le courage . Bien à toi et mercis beaucoup de tes visites très appréciées ((5++))
